B230F Engine Rebuild and Swap 900 1994

I will probably be rebuilding a B230F NA engine with cam driven distributor and swapping it with a B230F NA with the distributor driven by the idler (terminology?). Is this a problem with the computer or anything else?

The engine I am going to rebuild was from a 1993 940 (has oil squirters) and I put it in a 740 back in 2005 when it had 88K miles on it. The engine now has about 218K miles on it and has had Mobil 1 in it changed every 10K miles and filter every 5K miles since we have had it. I had the head off before I put it in the 740 back in 2005 and checked the cylinders for wear. They were very nice and I just had the head milled to get rid of any warpage, put in a new head gasket and seals, and it has been a great engine. My question is, should I put new rings, main and rod bearings, new oil pump, and have the valves ground before putting it in my daughters 940? Can anyone thing of other things that should be done?

Thanks.
